The Vocation of the Christian Scholar

Praise for the original edition:

"In this beautifully written, sermonic essay Richard Hughes defines the virtues needed for sound scholarship and good teaching. . . . As Hughes powerfully and persuasively argues, the Christian scholar has ample Christian warrant to be humble in the face of diversity, open to the challenge of competing perspectives, and fully engaged in the cooperative, rigorous, and imaginative search for truth."
— The Christian Century

"Following the examples of George Marsden and Mark Noll, Hughes encourages Christians not to forsake their calling as scholars nor to be discouraged by the enormity of their task, but to keep on integrating faith and contemporary culture."
-- Reformed Review

"In this book Richard Hughes mentors all of us who want to be both Christians and scholars. But even for those who do not teach and would not wear the name 'scholar,' this book is a valuable model of what it means to serve God humbly in one's chosen vocation."
-- New Wineskins

"Everybody who is concerned with Christian education should read this little book."
-- Journal of Education and Christian Belief
